About Scott Draves

Scott Draves is a pioneering software artist best known for creating

computers and people that uses mathematics and genetic algorithms to
create an infinite abstract animation.

His work has been shown at LACMA, MoMA.org, Prix Ars Electronica,

Draves "Bomb" was one of the first interactive software artworks
(1994) and also the first Open Source artwork. It's a
visual-musical instrument that was used by many (including Draves) for
both VJ performance as well as personal exploration.

In 1990 he received a BS in Mathematics from Brown University and
in 1997 a PhD from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon
University for a thesis on metaprogramming for media processing.
